Description
Pulled thread embroidery, also known as drawn fabric, is a form of whitework that doesn’t involve cutting the fabric threads. Instead, tension is used when working the stitches to draw the fabric threads together to produce a lacy effect. (Not to be confused with Drawn Thread embroidery, which involves cutting the fabric.) It is traditionally worked on white fabric, usually a linen even-weave, using white thread. The kit covers four pulled thread stitches which each give a different lacy effect. This is an excellent grounding for then moving onto the next stage! There is a choice of fabric: either 20 or 28 threads per inch white even-weave linen. The lower the number, the easier it is to see the holes, so 20 tpi is easier to work with than 28 tpi, which is finer. Please message me to state your choice. The finished embroidery measures 17.5 cm high by 15.5cm wide. Suitable for beginners. All my kits are packaged using recyclable and/or biodegradable materials.
